March 2024 - Hope Fulfilled
March 2024
“Hope delayed makes the heart sick, but desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
Proverbs 13:12 CSM
Hope Fulfilled
Hello Beautiful!
This year's theme for The Chosen by Love Day Retreat is Hope Fulfilled. We are borrowing from the story of Mary Magdalene to see how her life might resemble ours.
Oftentimes, we use the term hope fulfilled when our prayers have been answered. We know they have been answered because we see the answer with our eyes. Does that mean they are yet to be fulfilled when we have not seen them with our natural eyes? Or is it possible we are just waiting for the answer to manifest but has already been fulfilled in the spiritual realm?
These are some of the big questions we can face as believers and mysteries we may not comprehend on this side of heaven. But I want to be the one who errs on the side of faith. How about you? Let’s no longer defer our hope; instead, let’s be that tree of life, knowing that our desires have already been fulfilled or are on their way!
You can learn more about this at the 2024 Chosen by Love Day Retreat. Let’s learn to live as if every hope, desire, and dream has already been fulfilled in Christ Jesus. (Because it has!)
We can’t wait to see you on April 29th!
